COVID-19 Support from EDIT
Even during COVID-19 EDIT are still offering fantastic support check out what a customer has said about our support during this trying time:
"I just wanted to say thank you for the great set up and service you have given us since we began working with you.
This has been brought well and truly to light by recent events.
You have rescued us before (server crash and comms cupboard leak) so we knew how responsive you as a company are in a crisis, but what has been so apparent in this situation is the quality and stability of the home working set up you have given us, and the speed with which your team respond to any issues that do arise. All of which has been brought home to me daily as I hear stories of people needing to go into the office because their home set up just doesn’t do the job – something I have not heard at all from any of our staff. There are many reasons why our staff want to be back in the office but, that their IT isn’t efficient enough to work from home is not one of them."

The Importance of Multi-Factor Authentication
A password is no longer enough to secure your information or data or prevent access to your many online accounts. A ‘password’ implies a single word without spaces; a ‘passphrase’ is often longer and encourages the use of spaces in between words – a great way to improve complexity. There are other reasons as to why passphrases are better than passwords:
- 1. Passphrases can be easier to remember without compromising on entropy (how unpredictable/complex credentials are)
- 2. The use of upper and lower case characters along with punctuation will help to satisfy complexity requirements
In addition to this, we would always recommend a credential manager to store this information securely. They can also be used to generate a unique passphrase for each account.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the process by which a person proves their identity to gain access to information or data using more than one authentication method. This can be achieved by combining different credentials from multiple categories which often includes;
- • A passphrase
- • A smartcard or token (via authentication app or SMS text message)
- • Biometrics (fingerprint or retina – but this is used more in the enterprise environment)
Whilst multi-factor authentication has been a feature in certain industries such as banking (in the form of One-Time-Passwords or OTP) for a few years now, a large number of home users are yet to adopt this improved security method.
When a sample group were asked in a recent study why they did not use MFA 41% said inconvenience was the primary reason (source University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University study).
With the addition to authentication apps for mobile devices, MFA is now easier and more efficient than ever before. To see which online services currently offer two-factor/multi-factor authentication check out this website twofactorauth.org.
